Tesla (unit)

Tesla (T) is a derived SI unit of magnetic flux density. The unit was named to the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures ( CGPM ) in Paris in 1960 by Nikola Tesla.

In the CGS system, which is still used mainly in theoretical physics, is the appropriate unit Gaussian:

Geophysics also used the unit gamma ( γ ):
